Rather than post individually I have a few here that I'm unsure of after a frustrating day at Barker Inlet wetlands, Adelaide, SA. My best guesses,
1) Long-toed Stint
2) Red-necked Stint
3) Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
4) Common Sandpiper

Even with the chart I still struggle, but here it is again, posted by someone last "SHOREBIRD SEASON". Goodluck Rick, nice photos anyway.

Thanks Dale, have the chart and I struggle too
#1. Same bird as in other thread, I think Sharp-tailed Sandpiper?
#2. Red-necked Stint
#3. Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
#4. difficult view, I think Wood Sandpiper?
I agree with Steve on all four IDs. The last one looks good for Wood Sandpiper, as that green-based short black bill is the clincher.

I'd like to suggest Common Sandpiper for the last one...

Brandon,
Bands on tail feathers leads me to think Wood plus the beak colour as Logan suggested.
